Medical

Training 1-Fellow in Cardiac Intensive Care Unit ; 4 months rotation.

The cardiac fellow in University Hospital's of Cleveland

serves as the admission and administrative physician

responsible for all the ongoing operational aspects of the

CICU. The CICU is an 18 bed Unit with nearly 100% occupancy.

Daily rounds are made in the CICU with the attending

cardiologist, medical students and four assigned house

staff. The discussion on these rounds stresses the patient's

history, diagnostic physical findings, analysis of

electrocardiographic and angiographic studies, and review of

the patient's laboratory data. Plans are developed for

further diagnostic studies and decisions are made as to the

therapeutic approach for each patient. Discharge planning

begins soon after admission to the unit. The cardiac fellow

is responsible for the insertion of Swan-Ganz monitoring

catheters, arterial line placement and temporary transvenous

pacer insertion .Central lines usually inserted by house

staff under supervision of the fellow.

2- Fellow in Cardiac Consultation Service; 4 months

rotation.

The Consultation Service at UH provides cardiovascular

consultations to medical and surgical patients with

diagnostic and/or therapeutic problems. Average number of

consultations is 7-12/dayThe service also provides follow-up

care at the request of the attending physician, and it often

serves as the interface between the medical services and the

invasive and non-invasive laboratories.

The Cardiothoracic Surgery Service provides the cardiology

fellow with the opportunity to follow patients who are

undergoing cardiovascular surgery including CABG, valve and

transplantation. Patients are evaluated and managed in the

Surgical Intensive Care Unit and on the Cardiac Surgical

floor. The fellow is supervised by an attending

cardiologist. This service offers an excellent experience in

aggressive intensive care.

rotation in Echocardiography Lab, 1 months in Nuclear

Cardiology Lab.

The non-invasive laboratories perform echocardiography,

Doppler and color Doppler studies approximately 25 studies/

day. Transesophageal echo minimum 4 studies /day. Treadmill

exercise testing minimum 4/day. Stress echo and dobutamine

Echo minimum 4/day. Diagnostic radioisotope scans including

SPECT MPI, treadmill stress and pharmacological stress (

Adenosin Persantin and Dobutamine ) minimum 15/day.Viability

Thalium and pet scan studies when indicated. During the

Echocardiography and exercise/nuclear rotations, the

cardiology fellow obtains hands-on experience in performing

these studies and interpreting the graphic information.

4-Fellow in Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory; 4 months

rotation.

This rotation it UH provides an extensive experience, daily

average cases performed in the cath lab ranges between

10-20. For general cardiology fellows, the hemodynamic of

normal and abnormal circulatory states are stressed. Normal

and abnormal coronary anatomy as well as congenital coronary

indications and complications of diagnostic and therapeutic

techniques are reviewed. The performance of these procedures

is learned on a one-to-one basis with a faculty attending.

The techniques of diagnostic cardiac catheterization

including coronary and ventricular angiography, and

aortography are learned. Under supervision, the fellows are

responsible for the performance of the catheterizations, the

interpretations of the data and the presentation of the data

to members of the health care team.

5-Fellow in Electrophysiology Laboratory and service; 4

months rotation.

Fellows at UH rotate through the clinical Electrophysiology

Laboratory and Electrophysiology Clinical Service. Initial

emphasis is on recognizing and learning management of

arrhythmias .EP laboratory runs a busy pacemaker,

transplantation, including pre-operative selection,

peri-operative medical and surgical problems,

immunosuppression, and long term follow-up. Observation

during the transplant procedure itself is encouraged. In

addition, the management of end-state congestive heart

failure will be stressed, intravenous inotropic therapy,

intra-aortic counterpulsation and ventricular assist devices.
